Ugur Secilmis:
Joshua Field:
Secilmis was ace hunting to keep his main event alive. The flop came to cause a groan from Rigby as he would have flopped two-pair. The turn was the card that Field didn't want to see as the came off to launch Secilmis into the lead.

Ronne Abro opened to 275,000 and Ruslan Dykshteyn flat-called. Out of the big blind, Chase Bianchi three-bet to one million and Abro was in a short tank. He had just started a massage session and suddenly said "not so hard" to the massage therapist. Bianchi instantly joked "harder" from the other side of the table.
Abro then folded while Dykshteyn called, virtually rubbing his hands with the words "you gonna double me up."
On the flop, Bianchi bet 600,000 and received a call by Dykshteyn after he had fully hidden his face and massive beard with his extended face mask. The turn was checked by Bianchi as he reverted back to the non-masked attire and he then called a bet worth 500,000 by Dykshteyn. Both opted to check the river and Bianchi announced ace-high. Dykshteyn had that beat with the and raked in the pot.
"I decided to gamble," Dykshteyn mentioned in table chat while raking in the pot.

The floor came over, the dealer confirmed that Amiri had had almost three minutes. The floor gave Amiri another minute as his tournament life was at risk but before the time was over, Amiri already folded.
